Longtime reader Lee Whitfield will be hosting the second annual Forensic 4cast Awards as part of the SANS Forensic Summit in Washington, D.C on Thursday, July 8 at 7:30PM. (You can grab a brochure for the summit here.)

Last year, it was just Lee & Simon in front of the camera, but this year there will be a live audience - with actual awards! It's like the Golden Globes for Forensics, except this award will probably enhance your career.

I'd like to encourage you all to go to the nomination form at the bottom of this page and nominate someone you know that has accomplished sometime uber-cool in the forensics community in the last 12 months.

Hurry! Nominations close Today! (Yes, I completely dropped the ball on this - sorry Lee! It's been nuts around here!)
